Coach Talk

Tampa Thunder
Getting the win is most important, Tampa Thunder, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Matthew Stafford went 26-of-38 for 295 yards and three touchdowns for Bucco Bruce, and all Josh Allen could manage through the air was 145 yards and one passing TD. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
Bucco Bruce
Generally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Tyler Bass went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Bucco Bruce lost the matchup by 2 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
